I HAVE A SET OF 4 UNIROYAL LIBERATOR A/T P235 70R16 TIRES DOT APO8 C62U 4410 THAT HAVE HORRIBLE PROBLEMS. ONE OF THEM IS SO ELLIPTICAL THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE RIDING ON A EGG SHAPED TIRE THAT ALMOST MAKES YOU SICK AT SLOWER SPEEDS. IT HAS A AWFUL VIBRATION AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE OTHER 3 OF THE SET ARE SO OUT OF BALANCE THAT EVEN WITH 5 OUNCES OF WEIGHT, THE TIRES STILL VIBRATE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN CROSS TERRAIN TIRES, SIZE 235/70R/16. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SERVICING THE VEHICLE, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THERE WAS DRY ROT ON THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TIRES. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE FOR THE TIRES WAS 42,000. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 114,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
WHERE TO BEGIN? MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR MONTHS WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS AGO & WAS CHARGED $100 FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, CAME BACK ON, WENT OUT AGAIN, AND FINALLY I HIT MY HIGH BEAMS AND THEY STAYED ON. MY ENGINE USES ABOUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL PER WEEK. I HAVE PARKED ON CLEAN SURFACES & THERE IS NO OIL LEAKING, BUT IT IS GOING SOMEWHERE. I CAN HEAR A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I CALLED CHRYSLER'S TOLL-FREE NUMBER TODAY AFTER THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN, AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY JEEP IS UNDER RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG MODULE, AND MAYBE THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THAT ONE WOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT THEY STATED THAT THEY'VE HAD NO COMPLAINTS. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED FRONT TIRES THREE TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR FOR WEAR ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE. I'VE HAD THE JEEP ALIGNED, TIRES ROTATED AS THEY SHOULD BE, AND THEY JUST KEEP BALDING ON THE OUTER EDGE. THE SERVICE TECH SAID THAT JEEPS EAT THROUGH TIRES BECAUSE OF THE WHEEL BASE? THIS CAR HAS ALL BUT EATEN UP MOST OF MY INCOME. IT IS CONSTANTLY HAVING ISSUES, AND I GET NOWHERE WITH CHRYSLER. *TR

ON MAY 2ND ,2010, MY WIFE AND SON HEARD AN EXPLOSION OUTSIDE IN OUR DRIVEWAY. WHEN THEY WENT OUT TO SEE WHAT IT WAS , THEY FOUND THE SPARE TIRE ON THE BACK OF OUR 2002 JEEP LIBERTY HAD BLOWN UP. IT IS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRE MADE IN 2002. IT HAS ONLY BEEN USED ONCE FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE OTHER REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT. LAST FALL WHILE DRIVING TO A MARLINS GAME IN MIAMI AS I WAS ACCELERATING ON AN ON RAMP GETTING ON TO I 95 THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPLODED THROUGH THE SIDEWALL AND RIPPED APART. THIS TIRE WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AS WE HAD BOUGHT A COMPLETE SET OF 4. THIS TIRE AGAIN WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER. MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I HAVE A 15 YEAR OLD ABOUT TO GET HIS LICENSE. I REPORTED THIS TIRE FAILURE TO YOUR WEBSITE WHEN IT HAPPENED. OTHER THAN A NOTICE THAT IT WAS RECEIVED I REALLY DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING ELSE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES AS I FEAR THEY SEEM TO EXPLODE AT WILL FOR NO GOOD REASON. COULD SOMEONE RESPOND. *TR
MY SON AND A COUPLE OF HIS FRIENDS AND I WERE TRAVELING TO A MARLINS GAME ,ABOUT A 2 HR. DRIVE FROM OUR HOUSE. I HAD MADE A VISUAL CK. OF TIRES WHILE FUELING CAR BEFORE GETTING ON I-95. ALL LOOKED FINE. ABOUT 3-4 MILES AS I WAS GETTING ON I-95 THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. I PULLED OFF TO A SAFE AREA AND CHANGED TIRE. SOMETHING SEEMED ODD TO ME SO THE NEXT DAY I INSPECTED THE TIRE TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANY REASON FOR THE BLOW OUT. TIRES ARE NOT THAT OLD AND THEY APPEARED TO HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD [3/8"]. TO THE UNTRAINED EYE ALL SEEMED NORMAL AS I COULD FIND NOTHING ON THE TREAD AREA THAT WOULD INDICATE ANY DAMAGE TO THAT PART OF TIRE. THE OUTER SIDEWALL WAS SHREDDED AS I HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT A 1/4 MILE TO GET OFF THE ON RAMP TO A SAFE AREA TO CHANGE TIRE , INNER SIDEWALL SHOWED LITTLE DAMAGE. I RECALL HITTING OR RUNNING OVER NOTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ANY DAMAGE TO TIRE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE THESE TIRES ON THE OTHER WHEELS AS WELL AS SPARE TIRE .THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I WANT TO BE SURE SHE AND MY SON WILL BE SAFE. I'VE HAD TIRES GO FLAT BEFORE BUT AFTER MAKING A POINT OF CHECKING THEM PRIOR TO OUR TRIP AND THE ODD WAY THEY WENT FLAT I BECAME SUSPICIOUS THAT MAYBE SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE. I'LL HAVE TO TAKE THEM BACK TO DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT I'LL SEE IF THEY'LL ALLOW ME TO KEEP TIRE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO INSPECT IT . THANK YOU JIM DIRKS *TR ..

I HAVE A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY AND ON OCT. 7, 2003, I HAD AN INCIDENT IN WHICH MY STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES LOCKED UP DURING A LEFT TURN CAUSING ME TO TURN IN A FULL 360 FACING THE CAR THAT WAS BEHIND ME. THIS WAS ON A TUESDAY. ON FRIDAY, OCT. 10, 2003, I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A GAS STATION AND MY CAR SKIDDED CAUSING ME TO LOSE BRIEF CONTROL OF MY CAR AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR AND AVOID ANOTHER 360 AND POSSIBLE COLLISION WITH GAS PUMPS. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT AND THERE WAS NOT ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE IN EITHER SITUATION. AT THIS POINT, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ([XXX]) WHO TOLD ME IT WAS MY TIRES. I WENT TO GOODYEAR AND THEY SAID MY TIRES WERE FINE AND I SHOULD GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD CHECK IT OVER BUT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND I REALLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I RECEIVED GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. MY REASON FOR SUBMITTING THIS NOW IS BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN ARTICLES AND MY MOTHER HEARD IT ON THE NEWS THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECENT RECALL ON 2002 JEEP LIBERTIES THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TONIGHT AND ASKED THEM ABOUT A RECALL AND THEY DENIED THAT THERE IS ONE. I AM ALSO UNABLE TO FIND IT ON YOUR SIGHT ALTHOUGH THE ARTICLE I READ STATED IT AS BEING RELEASED BY YOU. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT I DO NOT FEEL AS SAFE IN MY CAR AS I DID BEFORE THE INCIDENTS. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL AND IF NOT, PLEASE DOCUMENT MY COMPLAINT. THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WITHIN A YEAR AND A HALF, I HAD THREE WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENTS. INSURANCE AGENT SAID WITH THAT MANY REPLACEMENTS, COULD BE DEFECT. EVERY TIME JEEP HIT BUMP, WOULD SQUEAK. TOOK TWO DEALERSHIPS 5 ATTEMPTS TO FIX. PAINT WAS PEELING ON GRILL, HAD REPAINTED. JEEP CONSTANTLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT. HAVE HAD ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATIONS, STILL NOT FIXED. LATEST, ALL FOUR ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE CORRODING DUE TO THEM BEING MANUFACTURED WITH ALUMINUM AND STEEL. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE RIMS HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED, BUT BECAUSE MY MILEAGE IS OVER 36, 000 MILES, THEY ARE CHARGING TO REPLACE THEM EVEN THOUGH A DEALER AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HAD HIS REPLACED AT NO COST. FIELD DISTRICT MANAGER REFUSES TO SPEAK TO ME, WHO MADE THE DECISION FOR ME TO PAY. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GUIDE ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I NEED HELP. [email protected]. *JB
